Can you answer?

You have got three switches outside a room and only one of them can light the bulb inside it... You get only one chance to step inside the room to check.. The room is fully covered and no light is seen from outside...

How would you declare which switch is connect to the bulb?

Turn them all on
You didn't say I couldn't
you just said only 1 ran the light inside
with all of them switched on
I would be sure to get the right one

I'd flick each switch and listen for the snap of the spark as the switch engages and the circuit connects.

Am I to assume that when I start this the light inside is off, all three switches are in the off position, and none of the switches are 3-way switches?

Am I outside the room at this moment or inside?
honeydimples26-30, F
@midnightsun outside

@honeydimples switch on two switches first.. then go inside

If the light is switched off then it's the third switch

Otherwise you go out again and switch off one more

You get the idea

@midnightsun but u have only one chance to enter the room and check.. If u come out and turnoff one switch Then how would you know which switch is connected to bulb?
